And in some ways information on natural history – or, rather, the words used in natural history – is fighting a bit of a rearguard action. The book does not compete with field guides so there are neither verbal nor pictorial descriptions to aid identification. It goes beyond definitions, but it is not an encyclopedia. This goes a bit further: it is an annotated dictionary which provides information that, together, is not found on single web sites. Even in the age of Internet search engines and hyperlinked web pages there is great value in an ‘old-fashioned’ dictionary relating to the natural history of a region. It covers the taxonomy, habitat, distribution, abundance, status and, for animals, diet and size of individual species or species groups, with entries on those species that have English (common) names, and on many of the families, orders, classes, etc. Preface The dictionary provides information on the animals, plants, fungi and algae of the British Isles – Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
